Turkmenistan is located in southwest Asia and rugs are often woven by Turkmen tribes living in the southern part (bordering Iran and Afghanistan) who have always been semi-nomadic. The rugs from Turkmenistan are named after the nomadic group that made them. All objects used on a daily basis, from cradles to curtains for the tent, are tied. Tying carpets, sacks and similar objects is typical for almost all nomadic peoples in Central Asia, but it is among the Turkmen tribes that this activity has the most important role both in the life of the individual and in the collective. The Western world's interest in these carpets has been enormous. Carpets from Turkmenistan are tied on movable vertical looms with the asymmetric knot.
